OT Is this another difference?
I've just been listening to hurricane news on Fox, and noticed that
one one item of other news they spoke of 'thirty hundred people' when here we would have said 'three thousand' (3,000). Is this a general thing - or regional - or is it just that particular news reader? Here its unusual to go much above fifteen hundred before the number turns into thousands, and to turn into thousands at the 1,000 mark is probably more usual, e.g. one thousand two hundred). Just intrigued by language usage, thats all! -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin
